Socrates. Seneca. Oskar Thysell. All great thinkers of our time. Being the only person privy to the thoughts of the latter, I find the claim very hard to dispute. As luck would have it, I have now decided to share my philosophical musings with you all, and tangentially relate it to our latest Java Realms release! Enjoy my smartisms below!
New on Realms: A Wise Man Once Said...
Eight philosophical maps to make you think!
One should choose their words wisely. Imagine for a second that everything you say is tallied up at the end of your life. The more unusual letters used, and words cleverly placed in conversations, the higher the points! Similarly, whenever someone answers you, they begin their words with a letter from a statement you’ve previously made, connecting all of us in a big linguistic web. Maybe life is just one big LexiQuest, and we’ll receive our high score when we are done talking?
ELYTRA FACTORY
by Supersette
Plato’s allegory of the cave deals with perception. Apparently, some of us are stuck watching life through the shadows dancing on the cave wall, and only once we realize this and turn around to see things for ourselves do we get a truthful view of the world. You’ll have to forgive this somewhat outdated idea – back then this was the only biome they had! And worse yet, they didn’t have Elytra! Elytra Factory is a much breezier take on the philosophical concept, as you can now fly through the cave, and use fireworks to speed through the eight subterranean levels within. Don’t inspect the cave wall too closely though, or you’ll have to face the reality of starting over from the beginning!
RANDOM ROYALE
by The People on Earth
Here’s another philosophical idea I’m workshopping – wouldn't monarchy be a much more fun experience if the majesty was chosen randomly? This concept is, in fact, not at all explored in Random Royale. Instead, the infallible way this highly customizable PvP minigame determines which of the custom game modes to pick is by ‘whoever presses the option sign last’!
